also don't think you get banned - because you didn't do anything wrong.

You don't have to prove that you didn't know. They have to prove that you did know.

Blizzard would like a word with your logic haha

You don't have to know to get banned. If you can prove you didn't know, it definitely helps in the event that you decide to make an appeal.

Private entities are a different story from criminal investigations handled by the government XD. Many times they can bend you over the table, and maybe pat you on the back on your way out.

But per the terms agreement, once currency becomes Riot points it no longer has any monetary value. If he were the one who purchased the points, then it would stand to reason that the RP and any subsequent purchases would be removed from the account.

However, since he received a gift instead of paying for it directly they don't have the right to take that from him, regardless of what how his friend acquired the RP.

If I give you a watch for your birthday and it turns out I stole it... you will not be aiding and abetting in the crime

if I give you a watch for your birthday and say here is a watch I stole and you accept it/ dont report the crime... then you are aiding and abetting

If you feel that guilty open a support ticket and ask them to remove the skin

Ive looked through your posts and all you do is berate, and undermine anyone that says anything against riot. You need to mind your own business and let riot answer the posts. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I guarantee your the kind of person that talks shit about people you know in real life but then when they try to confront you about it you either run away or completely dismiss it because real confrontation horrifies you. Don't say something over the internet that you wouldn't say to the persons face that your saying it 2. Grow up and stop this highschool bullshit. Riot is a big boy he can stand up for himself.

Op feels bad about his friend taking someone elses money? If he feels bad enough open a support ticket and explain it? confused where I am berating him?

Guess you know me more than I know myself.

I wasn't talking about this post, honestly this is one of your less annoying ones but still most of the others are you taking advantage of people who dont feel like studying the massive terms of service. Most people actually have busy lives

Lets break down the Terms of Service Don't Cheat and Don't be a Dick

Busy lives can't excuse being a dick :D

If it isnt about the post, it isnt relevant. If it aint relevant, it doesnt belong here.

If he wants to explain to others that they cant name and shame or w/e, hes right. They might not have had the time to read the ToS, but he did obviously, so he can help them out.

Anyways, that isnt relevant, rant about it on one of his post.

@OP, you'll be fine, dont sweat it. You might even get to keep the skin, who knows (dont count on it tho)

Why are you trying to discuss other posts, it has nothing to do with this one.

The dude just said to send a support ticket?

cuddlykitten45 votes

I gotta be honest right now man. You're the one berating this guy, not the other way around. What are you doing digging through this guy's past posts? What did he say that gave you any reason to wonder if he's a dick when he posts or not. He seems pleasant enough to me. You're the one who seems like a prick right now. Only further exemplified by the fact that you went digging through his past posts and came back to start an argument with him. Don't be a jerk. Grow up and stop this high school bullshit.

This is completely not related, not the place for this, and you're going against the Universal Rules on the Boards here by being a jerk to him. Also, while Riot can stand up for itself, users are allowed to defend Riot if they so choose. The players cannot all be unified in hating Riot, because that's just how League of Legends gets shut down. People are allowed to enjoy the game.

There's a few ways this ends.

  1. Riot takes the skin from you and refunds the person, no punishment for you
  2. Riot lets you keep it and they pay the guy back for the skin
  3. Riot lets you keep it and they make your friend pay the guy back for the skin

Either way, as long as you didn't know it was stolen, you won't be punished!

Agh, I don't think I can find the post, but I remember a guy posting in Help & Support asking about a missing Skin. His friend gifted him it but apparently there was a chargeback, so Riot had to take the Skin back from the player. Normally they suspend players for this sort of thing, but because this was gifted content, it had to be removed. https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201753334-Chargebacks

I would say either lawful good or lawful neutral, followed by the statement that this post isn't quite enough to narrow it down.

If you are seriously worried I would write a ticket explaining your situation :) Im willing to bet theres a good chance theyll let ya keep it anyway if your honest about the situation.

You can do nothing, and take a chance, or message support and see what they say.

Lord Galvatron1 votes

I doubt they would even contact you. I don't even think they would take the skin from you.

Edit: They (Riot) can't do anything unless the cards actual owner (or their bank) contacts Riot about the actual purchase.
